Njengomuntu odingayo kakhulu yokulala ukuze isebenze, ukulala ubusuku obubodwa kungenza ngiqhume kunoma ngubani ongibheka ahlekise ngakusasa. Ngenkathi ngihlala ngicabanga ukuthi lokhu kuyiphutha ebuntwini elidinga ukufundwa, ucwaningo olusha olushicilelwe ku I-Journal ye-Neuroscience iphakamisa ukuthi kungase kungabi yiphutha lami phela. Kuvela ukuthi, ukungalali kahle kungaphazamisa ikhono lakho lokulawula imizwa yakho, kukwenze usabele ngokweqile kuzinselelo zansuku zonke. (Yize, izindaba ezinhle, ucwaningo lwakamuva lubonisa Ukuswela Ukulala Akuyona Into Abantu BaseMelika Abaningi Okudinga Ukukhathazeka Ngayo.)

Ocwaningweni, abacwaningi baseNyuvesi yase-Tel Aviv bathola ukuthi ukusabela okukhulu kwemizwelo kwakuxhunyaniswa nenani eliphansi le-REM (ukunyakaza kwamehlo okusheshayo) okubalulekile ekukhumbuleni, ekufundeni nasekusebenzeni kwengqondo. Babenamavolontiya ayi-18 abamba ngekhanda amasethi ezinombolo ngenkathi bephoqeleka ukuba bangazinaki izithombe eziphazamisayo ezazingemnandi noma zingathathi hlangothi. Umuntu ngamunye wawuqeda umsebenzi wekhanda ngezinsuku ezimbili ezihlukene: kanye ngemva kokulala okuvamile kwamahora ayisikhombisa kuya kwayisishiyagalolunye futhi ngemva kokugcinwa ephapheme amahora angu-24 eqondile. (Kuzwakala kuyiphupho lami elibi kakhulu.)

Ngaso sonke leso sikhathi, abacwaningi baberekhoda umsebenzi wobuchopho, bebheka ngokuqondile i-amygdala kanye ne-prefrontal cortex, izingxenye zobuchopho ezicubungula imizwa (umsebenzi ku-amygdala uphakeme uma sibhekene nemizwa efana nentukuthelo, injabulo, usizi, ukwesaba, nokuvuka kocansi).

Abacwaningi bathola ukuthi lapho abantu bephumule kahle, ama-amygdala abo asabela ngokuqinile ezithombeni ezingezinhle njengoba bekulindelekile, futhi awazange athintwe izithombe ezingathathi hlangothi. Labo ababengenabuthongo nokho, bakhombisa amazinga aphezulu aphezulu okusebenza e-amygdala kubo bobabili abangajabulisi futhi izithombe ezingathathi hlangothi, kanye nomsebenzi wehliswe kakhulu kwi-cortex yangaphambi kokulawula imizwa. (I-Psst: Ingabe Ubusuku Obubodwa Bokulala Okungeyikho Kuthinta Ukuzivocavoca Kwakho?) Empilweni yangempela, lokhu kungazibonakalisa ngemicimbi ejwayelekile yokungathathi hlangothi-ukukhala kwefoni, isoka lakho likubuza imibuzo, umugqa kwa-Starbucks-okushayela amantongomane.

Empeleni, ukuncishwa ubuthongo kukhubaza ikhono lobuchopho lokubandlulula ngokunembile phakathi kwalokho okuvumela imizwa nokuphendula nalokho okungavumi. (Ngokushaqisayo, isayensi ikhombisa nokuthi Ukuncishwa Ukulala Kungakhuphula Ukukhiqiza Emsebenzini.) Ngakho-ke ukubheja kwakho okuhle kakhulu ukubamba noma yiziphi izenzo noma izinqumo zokuxhamazela (ukukhonkotha ocingweni, ukushaya isoka lakho, uphume esitolo sekhofi) futhi, kahle, lala phezu kwayo. Isayensi isho izinto ngempela intando ubukeke ungcono ekuseni-inqobo nje uma uthola ama-zzz akho.

Unenkinga yokufinyelela emahoreni ayisishiyagalombili okuphumula kobuhle? Sikubekele ngalezi zindlela ezisetshenziswa yisayensi ukuze ulale kangcono.
